Nursing Home Compare
The primary purpose of this tool is to provide detailed information about the past performance of every Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing home in the country.
Nursing Home Compare includes information on nursing homes that are Medicare or Medicaid certified. These nursing homes provide skilled nursing care; however, there are many other types of facilities that provide various levels of health care and assistance with activities of daily living. Many of these facilities are licensed only at the state level. In addition, some nursing homes that provide a full range of care, including skilled nursing services, choose not to participate in Medicare or Medicaid.
For information about any facility not found in this database, please contact your State survey agency.
Home Health Compare
Home Health Compare gives detailed information about Medicare-certified home health agencies that were certified as of January 2003. New home health agencies may not appear for several months after being approved by Medicare.
The list of Home Health Agencies generated by your search criteria is based on the places where they have provided services in the past. The services that the agencies have available in these areas could change in the future. Contact the Home Health Agency to find out if they still provide the same services in your area.
